The MAROON Vol. XXXVII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, May 13, 1960 No. 20 Council President ROLAND DOUCET Doucet To Stress 'Committee Work' Future Outlook Roland Doucet, pharmacy junior, wa« elected president of the • tudent council at the council,! meeting Urt Tuesday night. He succeeds Bill Hammel, A&S junior. Other* elected to office were: vice president, Joseph Conino, law junior; recording »ecretary, Judy Haydel, A4S freshman; treasurer, John Henneberger, BA junior; parliamentarian; Harold Dearie, evening divUion. By ELAINE BEVINETTO Roland Doucet, newly elected student council president, plans to stress "committee work" on the council for the coming year. The 21-year-old pharmacy junior said that he plans to make more efficient use of committees instead of "bringing all problems" to the council floor. Expressing his opinion of the new council, he said, "I feel that the people on my council are exceptional and very adept. I'm not worried about each doing his share to make it a success." Among the old issues which Doucet plans to re-investigate are the parking problem and the junior-eenior prom. "The parking roblem has been thrown back and forth between the council parking committee and the city council throughout this past year," he stated. "Bob Landry did a wonderful job in attempting to get the city council to do something. All we can do is to follow his lead, and keep trying." A member of the retiring council, Doucet said that this council has had some degree of success, if only in stimulating interest from the outside. Doucet feels that this "cooperative effort" is lacking in activities on campus. "Most student interest has been tied down to a select few," he said. "The council must broaden this interest. We're going to attempt to bring the six schools and colleges closer together. I hope that I can get that across this year." Doucet is a member of the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association; sports editor of the pharmacy journal; and a member of Sigma Alpha Kappa, social fraternity. He expressed his hope for the cooperation of everyone on the new council. He also urged all students to bring their opinions to their representatives, and "ifthey show any merit they will be brought to the floor." "The council is here to serve the students," he said. "We must be told what you want." The Inside Story By HIL LEIBE Mexico Trip Still Offered Viva la Mexico! Well, it's that time of year again.
